105 Years of Service Mr. Frank Mishou, after teaching some 3,000 FC students, still says, I like the people you come in contact with here. This school has congenial surround¬ ings and a fine, hard working staff.” A government teacher, Mr. Mishou has been elected Senior Class Sponsor for twenty years. He has served as co-director of graduation ceremonies for twenty years also. That Seniors are given their actual diplomas at graduation, rather than a blank paper as is the case in most schools, is a tradition about which Mr. Mishou feels very proud. Falls Church High School is proud, too, of the tradition of Mr. Mishou. Mrs. Frances Crum has always been a pro¬ ponent of change and improvement in Falls Church High School. To her we owe our fight song, an improved newspaper, and our art pro¬ gram. The situation for the Art Department in her first year was, in her own words, no sink, no paper, no paint, and no supplies.” Thanks to Mrs. Crum, the art department has mushroomed, and the annual art show, which she initiated, is a big event in the school year. There was a time when girls practiced bas¬ ketball in the cafeteria and physical education equipment consisted of a couple of basketballs and softballs. That was when Mrs. Bernice Lilly laid the base for one of the top physical educa¬ tion programs in the county. It’s been fun; I wouldn’t take anything for the experience. We’ve made so much progress in physical education. We have something new ev¬ ery year.” For over twenty years, biology” has meant Mrs. Mable Chapman. Coming from Jefferson with her tarantula spider and her Georgian drawl, she has graced the lab ever since. A long time sponsor of the National Honor Society, Mrs. Chapman fondly reminds her stu¬ dents of her one-third” involved in their grades. Falls Church is a way of life with me,” said Mrs. Chapman, and the feeling is mutual. Of the fine teachers who have been our main¬ stays, Miss Alpha Spitzer has the distinction of being the only one who participated in the laying of the cornerstone. In teaching Vocational Of¬ fice Training, she has started hundreds of stu¬ dents in office jobs which they would not have had otherwise. Miss Spitzer gave the reason why teachers stay at Falls Church. Some people might say I’m in a rut being here after all these years. I could have been here, there, and yonder but I’m not one who feels that the grass is greener on the other side.” Page 1 1

They entered our school when its doors were first opened and have be¬ come a part of all that F.C.H.S. represents. They remember the school in its early years and have watched with pride its growth and progress. Page 1 0
